ABSTRACT

Abstract

The Advanced Discovery System (in short: ADICOS) is used for early detection of fire scenarios in the industrial environment. It comprises different, independent detector units that enable interference-resistant fulfillment of the detection objective defined during planning via suitable layout and parameterization.

The detector units are connected using the ADICOS M-bus to a central unit, which enables voltage supply and parameterization of every individual detector, and which stores all sensor data for statistical analyses.

The ADICOS GTL-2 is used in combination with the SOLO 760 battery rack from the company No Climb Products Ltd. (detectortesters.com) as tester for all ADICOS detectors of the type GSME.

STRuCTuRE AND FuNCTION

4.2 Function

The ADICOS GTL-2 enables safe smoldering of GTL fire spirals for the generation of typical fire gases.

In combination with the SOLO 760 battery rack with telescopic rod, this fire gases can be used for controlled test triggering of ADICOS fire gas detectors of the type GSME in installation situations in industrial systems.

For this purpose, the ADICOS GTL-2 is ignited before entering the installation to be tested , the fire spiral within the fire chamber and the fan unit with the SOLO 760 connected battery rod.

If the gas - hopper of the GTL-2 now pressed against the front of an ADICOS GSME , carries the air flow generated by the fan unit inside the GTL-2 released gases into the detector and triggers an alarm.

5 Commissioning preparation

DANGER!The ADICOS GTL-2 works with a controlled combustion. Improper use can cause fires and explosions.

− Do not open housing inside industrial systems!

5.1 Inserting the ember filter

The GTL ember filter prevents ember and hot ashes escaping during operation. As the filter clogs during operation with fire deposits, the ember filter of the GTL-2 must be replaced prior to every use.

A clogged ember filter obstructs proper test gas emission which can lead to faulty test results.

Inserting/replacing the ember filter

1 unscrew the ember filter holder (union nut) from the threaded connection in the GTL cover counterclockwiseTo facilitate this step, press and compress the gas funnel against the GTL cover with the free hand.

2 Remove and dispose of the used ember filter3 Insert the new ember filter straight into the ember filter

holder4 Screw the ember filter holder with the new ember filter

clockwise on the threaded connection in the GTL cover and tighten firmly

COMMISSIONING PREPARATION

5.2 Inserting the fire spiral

GTL fire spirals are used as combustible material for the generation of test gases for the detector test. Prior to every operation, the new fire spiral should be inserted into the fire chamber to ensure that sufficient combustible material is available for operation.

Inserting the fire spiral

1 Open deviceFor this purpose, pull the GTL cover vertically off the base part. Pull firmly

2 unscrew the knurled nut3 Dispose of possibly present combustible material resi-

dues in a safe and proper manner4 Place new fire spiral with hole onto the threaded pin in

the fire chamber5 Screw on fire spiral using the knurled nut

Tighten knurled nut carefully to prevent damage to the fire spiral!

6 Close devicePlace the GTL cover straight onto the base part and press on firmly

5.3 Cleaning the ventilation disc

To ensure sufficient airflow of the GTL-2, the state of the ventilation disc must be checked prior to every use on the bottom of the fire chamber. If fire residues are present, the disc must be cleaned.

Cleaning the ventilation disc

1 Open device2 Hold GTL base part with the spring washer facing up3 Brush off the ventilation disc and remove any deposits using

the enclosed brass cleaning brush4 Remove any loosened material from the fire chamber5 Close device
